Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions we hear most about our IT services in Calgary — from customized managed services and endpoint management to MDM, cloud migrations, AI adoption, and cloud phone systems.
A customized Managed Service means your IT support isn't pulled from a one-size-fits-all template. Before we build your plan, we conduct a thorough assessment of your current infrastructure, workflows, security posture, and growth goals. From there, we tailor the scope of services—monitoring, help desk, patching, compliance, strategic planning—to match exactly what your business needs and nothing you don't. The result is a service agreement that delivers the best value for your investment, scales as your company grows, and keeps you from paying for capabilities you'll never use.
We target a one-hour response window for all support tickets, and in practice most inquiries are acknowledged well within that timeframe—often in minutes. "Response" here means a technician has reviewed your issue, confirmed receipt, and communicated an initial plan or next step. For critical, business-down situations we escalate immediately through our priority queue so you're never left waiting on hold. You'll also have visibility into ticket status through our client portal, so you always know where things stand without having to call and ask.
Endpoint Management is our centralized platform for overseeing every device your team uses—laptops, desktops, tablets, and mobile phones. Through it we push security patches and OS updates on a consistent schedule, enforce encryption and disk-protection policies, monitor for malware or suspicious activity, and lock down configurations that could introduce risk. If a device is lost or an employee departs, we can remotely wipe or disable it within minutes. The net effect is that every machine in your environment stays patched, secure, and performing without your team spending hours on manual maintenance.
Yes. Our Managed Backup Service covers both on-premises servers and cloud-hosted data (Office 365, Google Workspace, SaaS applications, etc.). We maintain secured, off-site copies of your critical files, databases, and application data so that a ransomware event, hardware failure, or accidental deletion doesn't mean losing months of work. Backups run on a defined schedule, are encrypted in transit and at rest, and we perform regular restore tests to confirm the copies are actually usable when you need them most. You get peace of mind with a clear recovery plan rather than hoping an old external drive still works.
Absolutely. Most modern workplaces are already hybrid—Windows workstations alongside MacBooks, on-prem servers sitting next to cloud applications, legacy hardware running critical line-of-business software, and employees bringing personal devices into the office. We support all of it. Our team is experienced with heterogeneous stacks and can manage mixed OS environments, third-party SaaS tools, and Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) configurations under a single management umbrella so nothing falls through the cracks between vendors or platforms.
Mobile Device Management (MDM) is a software layer that lets you centrally control, secure, and deploy every mobile device your organization uses—company-issued phones, tablets, and laptops as well as approved personal devices in BYOD scenarios. With MDM in place you can push apps and configurations automatically, enforce password and encryption policies, separate corporate data from personal use, track device health, and remotely lock or wipe a device the moment it's reported lost or an employee leaves the company. For any business where sensitive customer data, financial records, or proprietary files live on mobile devices, MDM shifts you from "hoping people follow the rules" to "the rules are enforced at the system level."
Yes. We support migrations to and from any major cloud provider—Microsoft 365/Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, and others—as well as hybrid scenarios that span multiple platforms. Before we lift anything, we scope your current workloads, data dependencies, and licensing so the move is planned rather than improvised. We handle data transfer, application reconfiguration, DNS and identity migration, and post-move validation to minimize downtime for your team. If you're consolidating from a legacy on-prem stack into the cloud, or switching providers to reduce cost or improve performance, we'll map out the path and manage the transition end to end.
AI is moving fast, but the businesses that benefit most are the ones that adopt it deliberately rather than reactively. We start by mapping your existing processes—customer support, data entry, reporting, scheduling, content creation—and identifying where AI tools can remove friction or free up staff for higher-value work. From there we help you select the right solutions (whether that's a generative-AI assistant for your team, an automated analytics pipeline, or AI-enhanced security monitoring), integrate them into the systems you already use, and train your people so adoption actually sticks. The goal isn't to chase every headline; it's to fold AI into your workflow in ways that save time, reduce error, and keep you competitive as the landscape shifts.
Yes, and it's one of the most straightforward modernization steps a business can make. We'll migrate your existing phone system to a cloud-based VoIP platform, which means your team can make and receive calls from any device with an internet connection—office desk, home office, laptop on a road trip. You gain features like auto-attendants, call routing, video conferencing, and mobile app access without the ongoing cost of on-prem PBX hardware and per-line carrier contracts. We handle the number porting, SIP trunk setup, user provisioning, and cutover so your team is making cloud calls with minimal disruption to day-to-day operations.
